Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a woman in Thailand proves you wrong. She drives up alongside you on her scooter, which is decked out with what appears to be some sort of Texas longhorn skull in the front, complete with a sheriff’s star painted on the forehead. Several firearms are mounted on the get-up, including a rifle resting near the exhaust pipe. She sits atop a finely stitched seat embroidered with “USA,” stars, stripes and an eagle. Oh, and to top it off she has her pet bird flying with her as she cruises down the street, and when she stops, he perches upon the handlebars.

That's a water buffalo (called a "kwai" in Thai, as in River Kwai) skull on the front of her ride. I hate to think what happens if one of those rifle slings catches on something in the middle of a curve. I loved my time in Thailand because the people are so nutty cool. My landlord had a double-barreled 12-gauge that was sawed off to about ten inches (!) with a teak pistol-grip that looked like something used in Olympic target shooting. If the barbed wire and broken glass along the top of the wall around our compound didn't stop you, that thing certainly might! This lady looks like she shares the same wild tastes in toys!
